Robert Glasgow > McCarthy Tétrault > Toronto, Canada > Lawyer Profile

McCarthy Tétrault stands out for the broad scope of its international trade offering. Alongside its strength in traditional trade areas, including trade remedies, trade policy and WTO dispute settlement, it is also recognized as a go-to team for economic sanctions and export controls. Additionally, the Toronto-based group is increasingly handling supply chain issues, including supply chain investigations initiated through the Office of the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Sourcing (CORE). Litigator John Boscariol leads the international trade and investment law area and his focus spans the full range of compliance, enforcement and dispute resolution-related matters. Martha Harrison sits in the international trade and the retail and consumer markets teams and her recent activity encompasses customs law, economic sanctions, trade remedies and foreign investment, among other work. The department also draws on Robert Glasgow, who is particularly noted for customs law, and associate Ljiljana Stanic, whose litigation practice takes in procurement and international trade cases.

McCarthy Tétrault‘s practice is equipped to handle the gamut of procurement matters, namely the structuring of procurement models, preparing project agreements, managing the post-contract award phase and defending clients’ procurements from legal challenges. Leadership of the group is shared between Toronto-based Tristan Musgrave, Montreal-based Anca Neacsu and Vancouver-based David Crane. Also noted are litigator Julie Parla; and Robert Glasgow, who has focused his practice on international trade and customs, as well as government procurement mandates. The practice was bolstered with the January 2024 arrival of Halifax-based counsel and strategic advisor Ross Langley, who is experienced in government contracting, supply chain and procurement matters.
